Have You Received a Nexus Letter?

The first step in a state’s overreach to collect sales or income taxes usually begins when you receive a Nexus Questionnaire. How you answer this questionnaire can result in thousands (or more) of back-tax assessments. You need an experienced tax attorney to help you determine the best strategy when you receive a  Nexus Questionnaire.

Sales & Income Tax Strategy

State tax is a serious issue for online sellers right now. Many sellers think the issue is sales tax, but for those selling on FBA, the picture is much bleaker with income and other tax issues. Paul has represented businesses as an eCommerce lawyer in just about every state, and federally against the IRS. He actively represents sellers in matters across the country, through advisory roles as well as actively in audit and other tax law matters.

Audit Assistance & Appeal

Most taxpayers understand that dealing with the Internal Revenue Service or a state tax agency is a serious matter. In some instances, many people will simply pay the stipulated tax or abide by the terms of the agency’s findings — even if they disagree — because they believe they have no other choice.

A consultation with Paul Rafelson will help you understand your true tax obligations, determine what you really owe, and allows us to help develop a plan for responding or appealing the tax assessment proposed by the state tax collector or IRS.
